Her newest release, a nine-song trio recording simply titled Voice, expresses a range of human emotions without the aid of a single lyric. Voice is set for a June 7, 2011, release on Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group.
"When I play music, I realize that it really filters emotions," says Hiromi. "I called this album Voice because I believe that people's real voices are expressed in their emotions. It's not something that you really say. It's more something that you have in your heart. Maybe it's something you haven't said yet. Maybe you're never going to say it. But it's your true voice. Instrumental music is very similar. We don't have any words or any lyrics to go with it. It's the true voice that we don't really put into words, but we feel it when it's real."
This is why I absolutely LOVE this woman lol. She is sooooo rare about the way she feels about music. And every time she plays a piece its never set in stone.She changes it every single time and not just the solo areas either... she plays what she feels, not whats on the page. And that is true art to me. its not about whats written down, its about the way YOU express it and make it your own.
Here is one of her pieces on youtube played live, the second one is the actual track from the album (which is different):
